The Decline of Europe: A Savage Civilization’s Slow Collapse | Shahid Bolsen

Well, think basically the the a national OCGFC, as I've talked about many times, I think that they've outgrown, they've transcended the traditional structures in which they initially developed. You know, the nation state model compartmentalized the world into boxes, and within those boxes, they created systems of order and control, and each box had its own economy, had its own power structure. So within the economy of each box, or what you call countries, some rose to the top within those boxes. But those boxes don't have any roofs, and now those who rose to the top of the box kept rising until they're not even in the boxes anymore, you know. And once you get out of the box, once you transcend the walls of the box, where you see things differently.

And the a national OCGFC see things very differently than than than the nationalistic OCGFC, the for example the military industrial complex. They see things very differently because they're not as limited as before. See, you and I look at a map and we see countries, we see states, we see borders. We're looking at all of the compartments of the world, the country compartments of the world. The a national OCGC GFC don't see this.

When they look at the world they see zones of resources, they see natural resources, human resources and so on. They see opportunity zones, you know, it's like x-ray glasses. They see through the borders and they see through the states and through the governments and what have you, just like looking through walls, you know. Looking through the skin and the muscles and seeing the skeleton, seeing the bones, that's what they see. Their vision is on a different light spectrum, you know.

It blocks out history, ideology, culture, patriotism, nationalism, religion and what have you. They don't see any of that. So like when you when you and I look at a map, we might see that there's three or four different countries in the region, for example. But the a national OCGFC, they just see one corridor of extractable resources. That's all they see, you know.

When they see Congo, they don't see Congo, they see Cobalt, for example. You have to understand how they see things so that you can understand and so that you can predict their behavior. You're used to the old system of decision makers being part of and being internal to nation state power structures. So you think that they make policies based on national interests. But those days are over in the West.

There's a power structure now that has outgrown nation state systems in the West. The leaders in America, the leaders in Europe don't care about America, they don't care about Europe. If you don't understand that, then their policies won't make any sense to you. And this is what I'm seeing from a lot of political commentators and analysts who can't understand why Europe and why The UK are still insisting on supposedly blind support for Ukraine and for Zelensky, because this is obviously against the national interests of European countries and and and against the interests of The UK. So they assume that European leaders care about that.

They think that they're supposed to care about that because traditionally they did. But these leaders care about what's in the interests of the a national OCGFC, not their nations. And that's been the case throughout the Ukraine conflict, you know. These policies are suicide if you think that the leaders are tied in any way whatsoever to the lives of their people. But if you understand their position correctly, then you'll know that it's not suicide, it's euthanasia.

Like I say, if you look at the world the way that they do, in terms of zones of resources, zones of opportunities, And of course there's gonna be a layer of that map that will include or or will incorporate data about demographics, demographic robustness or depletion. You know, predictable societal factors that either contribute to or detract from stability, and feasible prosperity, and so on. So if you look at Europe on a map like that, well it'll be incredibly sparse. There's just not much there. The truth is there never has been much there, which is exactly why they had to go all around the world and rob and loot and pillage because they don't have much on their own.

But now they're not even able to rob and loot and pillage all around the world. I mean, we're say like fifty years in the future, you know, 2075, looking back at the history of Europe, you know, the likely future of Europe looked at retrospectively. It's gonna be quite grand. Basically, Europe as a coherent project dissolves between now and 2075. I mean, by 2075 there will be no coherent European project at all.

It will collapse through erosion and strife between now and 2075. You know, institutions of one sort or another will persist, borders will remain, flags will still fly, but the unifying pulse will flatline in the next couple of decades. The population in Europe is gonna see a steady decline, it won't be catastrophic but it is irreversible. You know, some of the nations of Europe will experiment with different remedies with, you know, incentives and automation, robotics, immigration, but they can't alter their trajectory in time. So fragmentation is gonna intensify, regionalism, secessionism, ideological polarization.

These are gonna be the defining internal dynamics of Europe. Europe is going to remain only subsistently productive, meaning they will eke out a subsistence. It's not going to be entirely destitute by 2075, but it will cease to lead, and its people will only survive on the on on the basis of debt and welfare, because the gravitational centers of innovation, and the gravitational centers of capital are gonna move to the South and to the East. Europe will adapt, but that's just another word for deteriorate. I mean, just over the next few years, relations with The United States are gonna become more subordinate, more transactional, Strategic autonomy autonomy is gonna be attempted for some period of time, but it's never gonna be achieved ever.

There will be some engagement with the BRICS nations, probably especially with India, and some blocks in Africa, with China to some degree, But these alignments are gonna be reactive not directive. You understand? And if they develop agreements with China, which is possible, it's not ultimately gonna help them in terms of maintaining their position as a world power. They will become dependent labor and credit enabled consumers. They'll be bought.

Their land will be bought, their property will be bought, their utilities will be bought, and will all belong to others. If you're looking at the continent of Europe in 2075, it's neither going to have been resurrected by 2075 nor completely destroyed. It will be peripheral. It's gonna be like a library with no readers. This much is clear.

Europe is not rising. It's not stabilizing. It's it's not advancing towards a future of sovereignty or strength or relevance. No. Europe is collapsing, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Engineered by the very hands that used to sustain its prosperity. And European leadership is colluding with this 100%. The owners and controllers of global financialized capital, the a national OCGFC have already written Europe out of the future. It's no longer seen as a vital cent center of power. It's no longer critical to the architecture of global capitalism, global business.

The energy, the expansion, the capital, the population growth, it's all shifting to the South and to the East. Europe is being carved up. It's being downgraded. It's being reprogrammed to fit into a new global design in which it has very little importance. You know, mainstream media talks about the Ukraine war as a crisis, but we need to understand it, as I've always talked about, as a mechanism.

It's a tool. It's a lever being used to sever Europe's ties with Russia and by extension to China. And in the name of defending liberal values, Europe has walked straight into economic disintegration. This wasn't a miscalculation, this was exactly the purpose. This was exactly the purpose.

Deindustrialization is accelerating across the continent, starting in Germany. Energy costs are unsustainable and they will continue to be so. Supply chains are being rerouted. Foreign investment is drying up. You know, Germany, the economic engine of Europe is running on fumes at this point.

France is consumed with internal divisions and political decay. It's a it's a laughing stock. Southern Europe is drifting into post industrial subsistence type of economy. This isn't just the result of market forces, this is a managed decline facilitated by dependence on American military protection and the ideological leash of the European Union, and that's a leash that's being held by the a national OCJFC. But you know, Washington doesn't even see a value in NATO as a collective system anymore.

What's far more appealing to The US is to make bilateral one on one military relationships that bypass Brussels, sideline Germany, treat France with polite irrelevance, you know, make deals directly with other countries. What this means is that The United States may actually or functionally withdraw from NATO, essentially to abandon Europe and to reorganize its influence, its military influence more efficiently. And I think that that influence is probably gonna be more likely to be concentrated in the East, in Europe, Eastern Europe. The future of American military strategy in Europe is not gonna be centered in Berlin or Paris, it's gonna be built in Warsaw. It's gonna be built in Bucharest, you know, because Eastern Europe is hungry.

They're hungry for relevance, Poland especially, and they're gonna be willing to trade sovereignty in order to get that relevance. They're already doing it. These countries are likely gonna become the forward operating basis of American geopolitical power, military power. They'll host, you know, permanent drone fleets, missile systems, all the surveillance infrastructure, all of it. There's gonna be probably in Eastern Europe.

They'll align socially and politically and economically with all the strategic aims of the military industrial complex. It's not gonna be a partnership, it's an incorporation. So what happens to Western And Central Europe in this future? Well, they become, as I say, zones of internal unrest, heavily surveilled, deeply militarized, governed by technocrats, technocrats who don't answer to their own people but answer to debt markets and corporate boards. I would I would expect to see AI policing, behavioral surveillance, dissent being classified as extremism, that's already happening.

Welfare systems, they're not supposed to provide dignity but ensure compliance. Immigrant populations are gonna be scapegoated as they're being scapegoated now, social cohesion will disintegrate, nationalism will rise, but it won't lead to any revival of the nation state, it will only lead to repression within nation states and continental conflict. Demographically, these countries are dying. There's no growth, there's no future. The only option is managed decline and administrative sedation.

I think the Scandinavian countries might fare better, but only by turning themselves into basically sort of laboratories for experimenting with algorithmic governance. They'll probably have minimal immigration, they'll have very technocratic rule, AI mediated social contracts, you know. They'll probably be among the safest places on earth as long as you obey, but don't mistake that that peace for freedom because they're also gonna be among the most totalitarian places on earth. These are the Scandinavian countries, Northern Europe. Europe is not leading the world into the future, it's being managed even out of the present.

So for everyone in the global South, for everyone in the formerly colonized countries, who were raised to look up to Europe, raised to wanna be like Europe, raised to try to imitate the Europeans, you should understand that time has shown us that Europe actually can only serve as a cautionary tale, not as a role model. Because they never stop being savages. No matter how fancy their fashion, no matter how grand their buildings may be, no matter how much they may insist that all of their artistic and cultural and intellectual achievements are unmatched, and they are the ones who have to insist on that. The fact remains that they're actually just as primitive as they always were. So you have to understand something here.

Savage behavior, and we can all agree I think that Europe's behavior has been nothing but savage, from pre enlightenment to post enlightenment. In fact, their so called enlightenment only made them more brutal. It only made them more oppressive. It only made them more criminal. So you have to understand that savage behavior is indicative not only of moral failure, but it represents a failure of intellect.

Intelligent people don't act like that. Rape and pillage are not the actions of refined intellects and sound minds. You wouldn't think that about an individual who commits those crimes, you know, that they refined and sophisticated and intelligent, so why would you think anything like that about a nation that does it? And furthermore, when you steal instead of build, when you exploit instead of cultivate, when you plagiarize instead of study, which is what they did, you know, they're so called thinkers, they're so called philosophers and what have you. They did nothing but copy and plagiarize from the Muslims and from other ancient civilizations, like from the Egyptians.

So when you enslave instead of work, plagiarize instead of study and you enslave instead of work Well, you don't develop intellectually. Spiritually, or in terms of your character, there's no shortcuts to civilization. All they built is a facade with nothing inside of it, You know? Have you ever noticed how all of their hotels always look amazing in the lobbies, but the rooms are always a let down? Well, that's Europe.

That's the West. It's all dressing, no meal. It's like the difference between a a farmer and someone who just shoplifts produce from the grocery store. They're not equal. Someone who just takes is not like someone who earns.

There's a difference, you know. Someone who uses is not like someone who creates. They're not the same. In terms of their development, mentally, spiritually, intellectually, psychologically, in every other kind of way. They're not the same.

See, when the West talks about development, when they use the the word development, they're only ever talking about material development, economic development, and so on. You know? Because they have to talk about that. That's the only kind of development that they can talk about because they can't talk about moral development, spiritual development, or intellectual development, and then be and because that material development was only acquired through immoral, anti spiritual, brutish means, but if we're gonna talk about cultural, moral, philosophical, intellectual, actual civilizational advancement as the criteria for the term development, well then the West will be classified as the undeveloped world. Not even as the developing world, they're straight up undeveloped.

I mean, if this was the actual basis for the categorization of first world and third world, well then the so called first world and the so called third world would switch places. The West is the third world in terms of every metric of human development besides the superficial. And as I've talked about many times, even economically, there are large swaths of the populations in the West that are living in so called third world material conditions as it is. And why is that? Why are they living like that?

Because they never developed or civilized. It's an undeveloped collective society and culture, western society, western culture. It's underdeveloped. I mean, if the only way that you can win a race, for example, is by hobbling every other competitor, well, fast can you really run? You see what I mean?

If you need your opponent to have two broken legs and have his hands tied behind his back, well, what kind of a champion boxer are you? If you have to deny the cultural, intellectual, moral and civilizational achievements of others in order for anyone to believe that your so called civilization is great, well, how great can it really be? If the truth about you was really that wonderful, why would you have to concoct such fantastical lies about everyone else? About the Muslims, about China, about Africa, and so on. If you were so great, why you wouldn't have to divide and conquer the people, you'd be welcomed.

No one would try to drive you out, they would plead for you to stay. But we all know that nobody ever wanted you around. You understand what I'm saying? This is because you are underdeveloped as a people. You're undeveloped as a people.

You don't bring civilization, you suppress civilization. And I'm not saying this for the purpose of berating you, but I know that's how you'll take it. I'm not trying to pick on you, I know that's how you'll feel. I'm telling you this to explain why what is happening now is happening, and why Europe is moving in the direction that it is, and why it is on an irreversible downward trajectory, and the entirety of the West is on that same trajectory including The United States. And this is the reason, because you never developed, you never civilized.

Like I said, if you anthropomorphize the collective West as an individual man, and that man acted the way that the West has acted and is acting right now, well, no one in the world will regard that man as civilized, or as sophisticated, or as an intelligent human being. Think about it. He's a lying, abusive, violent, fraud. He mistreats his own family, he never keeps his word, he doesn't believe in anything, he has no beliefs, he's greedy, he's frivolous, and he's petty. He's insecure, cowardly, toxic, crude and unhygienic.

But you wouldn't even wanna sit next to him on the bus, much less take him as a mentor or a role model. He's a vicious criminal who doesn't even have the guts to own up to what he's done. So I mean, is it really a surprise to anyone that this approach to life does not lead to long term success? Can anyone really be surprised that someone like this meets a humiliating end? No.

It couldn't be any other way. You know, on a civilizational scale and on an individual scale, in your culture, you admire and reward predation. You admire and reward trickery, deceit, taking advantage of people, exploiting people, using people. You admire that. You love that.

You reward that. You encourage people to deprioritize spiritual, moral, and intellectual development, and to prioritize material development, and development here means acquisition, it means accumulation by any and every means possible. Okay. This is what you admire and reward in your society and so of course, people rise in your society who are like that, who act like that, who behave like that. They rise to power, they rise to influence, they gain control by these very same beliefs and these very same behaviors, by misusing and abusing and victimizing and oppressing and dispossessing others.

This is the track that you laid in your culture, in your so called civilization, for how to attain high status and power, basically by being a terrible human being, by being an underdeveloped, savage, primitive, backwards, uncivilized person. You made the system for this. You programmed it like this. You understand me? You programmed it so that the worst possible people in your society would become the most powerful people in your society.

And somehow you thought that once they attain power, somehow their predatory nature, which you've never done anything all along but reward, you thought it would change. You thought somehow that they would not that they would not inevitably prey on you. And why are you so foolish and so naive and so delusional about that? Because you are not developed. And we're all looking from afar, you know, watching from afar, seeing the inevitable play out.

And there's nothing to us that's more astonishing than your shock, than your surprise and your disappointment. As if you really thought that there was any conceivable reason why the West would ever turn out differently. But the end that you're nearing right now was always gonna be your end. You didn't take a wrong turn, you've been on the wrong path from day one. The path that you started on was always a dead end and it's always been one path.

It's a straight line from your primordial history through paganism, through Christianity, through the so called enlightenment, through the so called industrial revolution, through secularism, capitalism, so called democracy, right up until today, you know. Your problem was that you thought that if you change your costume it meant changing your direction. But you've been on one single dead end path from the beginning, and now you're getting closer and closer to the end of that path. Now you've got Trump, like in those old cartoons, painting on the wall in front of you, Painting, make it look like there's a path that goes on and on and on into the horizon. That's his job.

To lead you straight into the wall, while making you think that it's the path forward. But there is no path forward, not for Europe, not for America. You're not headed for a date with destiny. You're headed for a collision with the end of your destiny.
